Yea, that the most corrupt state in the union, in the most corrupt city of the state, NOLA, which is not coincidently run and inhabited by black Americans (a "chocolate city"), had for years taken the money supposed to be used for expanding and/or repairing the levies and used them instead for other things.
That Katrina conspiracy?
Wasn’t it more than just the levies but several pumps as well? From memory NOLA is built under sea level and requires pumping constantly to keep the sea water at bay, and 3 out of 5 pumps were down due to lack of maintenance due to lack of funds for parts due to them being misused elsewhere (also see into pockets of those in charge). The storm did damage to the one pump station leaving only one left which couldn’t keep up to the storms added water, and the flood was only a matter of time. If Katrina hadn’t caused it a bad thunderstorm could have eventually. But with Katrina you had the added shitstorm from that going on too.
You had rapes in the stadium used for emergency housing, looting Larry vs whites looting supplies being a major cultural argument, George Bush being accused of being racist because he wasn’t helping with the hurricane relief response as fast as people wanted it to be done which then lead to FEMA having a huge stockpile of two piece plastic coffins for corpses the next time a mass casualty from weather events happens and then of course people were sure that meant FEMA was planning to kill a bunch of people because they have containers to put them in.
I’m less inclined to believe there was glowing ones taking down the pumps and more just people in positions they shouldn’t have been due to corruption doing what stupid people do in that position. A major fuck up happened due to people in charge being halfwit fucktards. But if anyone can point to a conspiracy happening down there I’m curious to go down that rabbit hole.
Don't forget all the tranny surgeries people received after getting their taxpayer funded prepaid cards ;)
Nah we didn’t have mass trannies yet, they didn’t execute order snipty-six until years later. You were good enough just buying some cloths from Hot Topic and being goth, no need to proclaim to be a magical biological transformer (surgeries sold separately, dilate-seething-coping subscription required, no refunds).
Not MASS trannies, but I remember distinctly that some people used the funds for it.
I can't find a source for it yet, but here's the GAO testimony regarding the expenditures they found.
